As a lifelong comic book fan, I’ve always loved the romances DC delivers. It really started with Superman and Lois Lane – they basically wrote the playbook for comic book couples. Since then, we’ve seen so many iconic pairs – Wonder Woman and Steve Trevor, the Flash and Iris, Batman and Catwoman, Green Arrow and Black Canary… they’ve all shaped what we expect from a comic book romance. But lately, DC introduced a relationship that’s quietly become one of my favorites: Jason Todd, the former Robin, and Trinity, Wonder Woman’s time-traveling daughter. It might not be as flashy as some others, but honestly, it’s a surprisingly sweet and genuinely heartbreaking story.
Trinity has been a key character in Tom King’s Wonder Woman comic, and recently starred in her own six-issue miniseries. The story involves three different versions of Trinity encountering each other due to a time-travel accident. This mishap hilariously transforms their companions, Jon Kent and Damian Wayne, into Corgis, leading the heroines on a quest through time to find them. Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman has been well-received, and the second issue featured a meeting with Jason Todd. The latest issue, Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #5, brings these characters together again for a powerful and emotional story.
The Relationships Between Jason Todd and Trinity Is Too Good
From the start, I was captivated by the connection between Jason Todd and Trinity. While Tom King’s run on Wonder Woman isn’t universally loved, I particularly enjoyed his portrayal of Trinity. She initially appeared in shorter stories within Wonder Woman, and King did a fantastic job of showing her at different ages – as a child, teenager, and young adult. He brought that depth to her own series, and thanks to Belen Ortega’s art, each age of Trinity truly feels like a believable young person. When the confident and sarcastic teenage Trinity met Jason Todd, their chemistry was immediate.
They had amazing chemistry, clearly drawn to each other and eager to make a good impression. Watching them together made me realize why their connection was so strong, but also why it was ultimately destined to fail. Trinity couldn’t remain in the past with young Jason – changing the past would mean altering her entire life. She was aware of Jason’s fate, and even let it slip to him, and understood that, despite her feelings, she couldn’t prevent his death.
The story also clearly showed how beneficial the relationship with Trinity was for Jason. This was the post-Crisis version of Jason, the Robin constantly striving to prove his worth. He repeated his pattern of showing off and making mistakes, but it offered a fresh perspective on his character. We’re accustomed to seeing Jason Todd as the violent Red Hood, so portraying him as an awkward teenager with a mutual crush was surprisingly humanizing – something we don’t often see with this character. Plus, the actor did a fantastic job physically embodying the young, athletic Jason Todd.
Todd is a complex character, and King cleverly unlocked his potential by sending him back in time to connect with someone he could relate to. Both Todd and Trinity shared similar experiences – controlling parents, mentors with past relationships, and a feeling of being stifled by older figures. Their connection worked wonderfully, making Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman #2 a really enjoyable read. The unexpected continuation of their story in issue #5 was a delightful surprise. Their tragic romance is easily one of the best things DC Comics has offered in 2025.
They’ll Always Have Gotham City
Issue #5 of Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman focuses on Trinity and another teen hero enjoying a date and working as a team, all while knowing their time together might be limited. A particularly poignant scene involves Jason questioning whether he’ll ever face the fate he expects, and Trinity gently agreeing with him to spare his feelings, even though she knows the truth. This dynamic is what makes their relationship so compelling.
It’s not going to work out. While she can travel to the present and meet an older Jason, it won’t recapture the magic of their youthful connection. They’ll only have a couple of nights together – maybe a few more if the story is successful, which I’m hoping for – and that’s all. There’s a bittersweet beauty to their situation, making it a compelling story arc and another reason to enjoy Trinity: Daughter of Wonder Woman.
